Congratulations Cynthia! Head on over to the Pretty Little Studio Blog and let Melissa know you have won the prize on my blog...x
Just a little update too on how I created these little decorations. A few people were asking how I put them together so here is a quick step by step...
1. Using a saucer or similar sized plate trace a circle around the outside edge, directly onto cardstock. Cut in half.
2. Take one semi-circle and form a cone shape. Adhere edges together.
3. Create a concertina flower as seen here but don't close it up.
4. Cut three more circles (3", 2.5" & 2"). Cut each circle in half and form cone shapes.
5. Snip the bottom of each patterned paper cone shapes to create the branches. Ink the edges. Cut a small section off the top of each cone until it slides to position required on the cardstock cone.
6. Slide over the cardstock cone and adhere.
7. Create a star using left over patterned paper and/or star punch. Adhere to a toothpick. Slide toothpick into the top of the cone. Decorate with organza ribbon and a small shipping tag.
Thanks for visiting..x
